About this Plan
A1. Free flight sport glider, wingspan 1.44m.
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Hello again Mr Outerzone! Thanks for publishing the previous plan I sent you, here is another one!
I would like to submit the attached plan, which I redrawn because of the poor original drawing condition.
This is a freeflight sports glider called A1, measuring 1.44m of wingspan and designed in september 1980 by an abbot called Jean ROBIN. Jean Robin (who has now passed away) was running a model aircraft club in Paris, located Rue Madame in the Bossuet college. This club was affiliated to the French model aircraft association (FFAM) and I was part of this club in the 80's, when I was 10 years old or so.
This glider was my second one, and it was made mainly from hard wood and balsa (the wing and stabilizer were covered with silk and dope).
I hope you will accept to publish this plan and that I will be able to translate the above comments in French later on.
Best regards,
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

This plan seems to be incomplete; it is missing details & images for both the horizontal and vertical tail sections and stabilizers. Is there another sheet of the plan set for this?Tom Myers - 16/01/2021
No, I think this is complete. The horiz stab is clearly shown, and there is no central fin/rudder, just a pair of tail fins, a similar style design to say the Tulak (oz12741) layout. Agreed, it would be nice if we had a photo of the actual model, to add clarity.

Thank you for the clarification regarding the tail planes.

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
